Latest Hollywood script deals

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Veteran screenwriter Dan Gordon (“The Hurricane,” “Wyatt Earp”) has signed to write the screenplay for “The King of Sting,” a drama about con man Craig Glazer.

Based on Glazer’s book of the same name, the project follows the author’s 20 years of exploits, posing as an undercover narcotics agent and pocketing money from stings. Glazer and a partner were so adept at conning victims that the Kansas City Police Department hired them to conduct stings.

In addition to his screenwriting credits, Gordon wrote the current Broadway hit “Irena’s Vow,” which stars Tovah Feldshuh as a Polish Catholic nurse who hid Jews during World War II.
